Just thinking about how Ed doesn't just put his arms around Stede; he holds him.

Just thinking about how Stede has probably not been held since he was a small child, if then.

Just thinking about how Stede was hiding alone in his cabin and thought he would be alone that night and Ed shows up with nothing but sympathy and concern. And how Ed cradles him and wraps his arms protectively around him and says he's wanted and desired, yes, and also that he's safe.

Just thinking about how Ed heard Stede say, "I'm here, you're safe, I'll never leave again," and how Ed himself is saying that now with his arms and his hands and his kiss.

Like okay maybe I do have something to say about how unapologetically queer this show is, how it will let a literal drag queen do drag on it. How it will let a grumpy old man put on makeup and sing a beautiful song to the crew, how it will let two men kiss against a wall and have sex, there is something truly special about how this show doesn't coddle the heterosexual audience. There's no hiding that these characters are queer, that their relationships are queer, there's no hiding that Wee John likes to sew and put on a look, it's celebrated! To watch a show where these things are celebrated and loved is truly something
